This country would be a lot better off if we didn’t have chain stores and fast food and instead had mom and pop businesses that kept money in a community and gave every town and city its own unique flare. But every city looks like the next and all the money goes to Wall Street banks.

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

It is! But people won’t cycle if they have to share space with cars. People need to feel safe before they start riding regularly.

Seriously. Norfolk has blown an amazing opportunity. We could be the subject of admiration.

“Waiting for new leadership…”. Didn’t they deliberately elect this current leadership?

How to relieve traffic congestion, guaranteed:

Support density, sidewalks, protected bike lanes, and high quality public transit. Give people more reasons to stay out of cars and the road will open up to you.

Heck, even back to Reagan in the 80’s.

People arguing on this here website that we should structure our force to be able to fight like the Ukrainians.

Don’t worry though we will completely ignore the pivotal early days of the war, or the fact we have a vastly different force structure that demands us to fight entirely differently.
